RELATIVE CLAUSES IN ENGLISH GRAMMAR

Abstract

Annotation: This article is devoted to deviations from the linguistic norm in the
use of such English relative pronouns as "who" and "whose", and the mechanisms that
cause these deviations. It is shown that in usage the boundaries of the norm of the use
of the pronoun "who" are expanded, allowing it to be used to describe representatives
of various classes of animals, as well as a means of grammatical stylistics when
describing inanimate objects, while in the case of the pronoun "whose" there is a
narrowing of the boundaries. norms up to the area including only living beings.
